Overview

The Device Software Development Platform raised the awareness of Eclipse to the embedded community. But given the ever decreasing
participation in it, it probably is a good time to retire the project and send the pieces to more natural homes.

For each project, one or more responsible individuals are listed. These individuals will, upon success of the review, initiate the required actions (e.g. open a bug).

Projects

Top Level

Responsible: Wayne Beaton

Actions before: none

Actions after: open a bug

The Top-level project will be terminated and archived.

Blinki

Responsible: Wayne Beaton

Actions before: none

Actions after: open a bug

There is no code committed in any Eclipse source code repository for the Blinki project. The Website is out of date, and project metadata is not being maintained. All activity around the project appears stalled. The project is effectively dead.

As part of this Restructuring, the Blinki project will be terminated and archived.

Device Debugging (DD)

Responsible: Wayne Beaton

Actions before: none

Actions after: open a bug

The Device Debugging (DD) is inactive; there have been no commits since April 2009. The DD content has previously been moved to CDT.

As part of this Restructuring, the DD project will be terminated and archived.

Description

TCF is a vendor-neutral, lightweight, extensible network protocol mainly for communicating with embedded systems (targets). Its most distinguishing feature is that TCF is designed to transparently plug in value-adding servers between the tool and the target. But even without value-add, the protocol has potential to unify lots of currently independent communication links, thus saving resources and making setup and configuration much easier than in current embedded development scenarios.

Scope

Relationship to Other Projects

ECF

TCF is an protocol and standardized service definitions specialized for communicating with embedded systems. It also provides exemplary an exemplary peer implementations for the protocol. ECF is not that.

Initial Committers

The following current TM committers have been active on TCF. All of them other than Eugene are inactive but as the project accelerates these guys have expressed interest in maintaining their committerships.

Felix Burton

Anna Dushistova

Martin Oberhuber

Uwe Stieber

Eugene Tarassov

Doug Schaefer will be added as a committer to TCF as the project lead for the new project. He will also be contributing to TCF soon.

Initial Contribution

TCF is a de-facto component of the TM project. The TCF functionality from TM will be moved into this project. Specifically, this is:
